Zulu Time - or Greenwich Mean Time is just an agreed standard that all other time zones relate to. So rather than a submarine commander having to worry about what time it is in Pearl Harbor and what time in Washington DC - Zulu time as the world standard is used to avoid confusion.

∙ 15y agoTo find out "How many hours ahead is zulu time" all you will need to do is look at a time zone map. This is easily enough done my using any good search site (eg. Google) and just typing in "time zone map". This is provided that you know what country/ general area its located in first.

∙ 14y agoZulu time is the military term for Greenwich Mean Time. It is the time in Greenwich, England. So if you are underway on a ship at sea, and all of the Navy uses GMT, if you say, "at 1900 hrs Zulu we are going to ........" Then all the forces anywhere in the world can know that at 1900 Zulu this will occur and they will all be on the same page no matter what time zone they are in. 1900 Zulu is the same time in the Pacific as it is in the Atlantic.

What is the difference between mountain time and zulu time?
Zulu time and Greenwich Mean Time are the exact same thing, as is typical of the military, it coined its own term. Since Greenwich is the site of the "zero meridian," they called GMT "Zero Time" or simply "Z- Time." In the phonetic alphabet that the flyers of the time used to make themselves understood on their radios, "Z" became "Zebra." When the alphabet was changed, the call sign became "Zulu." Clarification: They are not *exactly* the same thing. Zulu time does not shift with daylight savings time. It is a constant time that the military uses and in fact coined a term for. They did not just call GMT by a new name, they created a new standard time.
